| Name: | Lossiemouth |
|---|---|
| Type: | beach |
| Reliability: | very consistent |
| Best Swell: NE | Offshore Wind: S |
Lossiemouth on the East Coast is a fairly exposed beach break that is usually a safe bet. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Works best in offshore winds from the south. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north northeast. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Pollution may be a hazard at this break.
